Extremely pleased to share our team’s latest #BirdAgenda work in @Nature - hawks and other soaring birds use their lungs to enhance their flight muscles: nature.com/articles/s4158…

The 2025 U.S. #StateoftheBirds report urges conservation action for 112 Tipping Point species, 42 of which have perilously low populations. We need policies that keep up with proven conservation measures to #bringbirdsback for a healthy America. stateofthebirds.org/2025/

Embryonic squamate lungs galore 🫁🥳🦎 @frogdiaz anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dv…

New and much needed study by @paleofox and team on lung development in squamates. Filling in one more piece of the pulmonary puzzle for Sauropsida. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dv…

Exploiting the Museum and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to sanitize “globalize the intifada” is outrageous and especially offensive to survivors. Since 1987 Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner. All leaders must condemn its use and the abuse of history.

We are up at @schoolofwarpod with @mdubowitz with quick reactions to last night's attacks and Israel's campaign against Iran as it unfolds: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-…

Congratulations DR. MARTINEZ!! @amar_anatomy 🥳 #PhDone #BirdAgenda #WomenInSTEM

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Hey everyone! Check out our new paper on the evolution of cranial kinesis in birds out in PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We used 3D muscle modeling, linkage mechanics, and phylo methods to investigate feeding across the dino-bird transition 🦖🐦‍⬛(1/?)

Our paper led by @MikeMSch is out #OA in @AnatRecord. We explore how the craniofacial hinge joint balances mobility & stability in helmeted hornbills, birds w/ high-impact head-butting behavior. Thanks @MasonDeanLab for inviting me to join the fun! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

First names of all of the PIs of labs on my floor: Bruce, Brandon, Naresh, Soheil, David, Derek, Julian, Toni, Irv, Keith, Jerry, and Tina. One of these things is not like the other 🫠

Super excited to see this first chapter of my PhD published ! Huge thank you to my supervisor @fieldpalaeo and co-authors, and to @paleofox for inviting us to contribute to this theme issue on the avian respiratory system!

Congratulations Aracely!! Learn about the lungs of Zebra Finches: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Congrats to PhD student @mgraceburton! Learn how soft tissue volumes affect estimates of pneumaticity in archosaurs, open access: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…. Thanks for @paleofox for the invitation to contribute to this special issue! Plus a Calgarian Swainson's Hawk on the cover!
